Per raggiungere l'obiettivo del progetto, verrà sviluppata una procedura di valutazione per i rifugiati nei campus di istruzione superiore in Finlandia (Università della Lapponia), Belgio (Thomas More), Italia (Università di Bari) e Grecia (Istituto Nazionale per la Ricerca Sociale - EKKE), insieme all'organizzazione studentesca europea AEGEE.
